Exterior Door Trim

[trophykev]

my 1996 GS300 has the door trim /window seal cracked allowing the trim to pull away from the window.

This means i get constant wind noise even with the window closed. it is also starting to leak

how do i glue this, have tried the usual super glue, araldite etc with no luck.

Lexus dont stock the replacement anymore. Anyone got a spare ?

Can you get a photo of the offending damage and which door? I need a part for mine on the drivers door and probably the easiest way to get it is to get a door from a breakers yard. We could go halves or something if we both need different parts.

front offside door, It is the black plastic surround that goes round the window frame area, hold the rubber weather strip in place.

I am having a problem with my camera so no phot - will see if i can borrow one next week

Sounds like we are after the same thing. It is actually a metal frame (with a stainless steel inner frame rivetted on) and is bolted to the door. The rivets have come adrift on mine so the outer black part no longer sits in place properly. If you pull the window seal down around the top or back edge you will see the stainless inner frame). I have had no luck fixing mine and have just sourced one from a breakers. Tried the whole door root but they keep quoting for a "bare" door so I've actually no idea if the frame would be on there if I bought the door. Plus if it is bare, there is nowt extra of any use that makes it worth while buying the whole door :(

I'm just waiting for the guy to get back to me regarding a couple of other bits I'm after at the same time. He quoted £20 + delivery so hopefully that will be sorted soon. I can try and source another one if you can't find anything.
